DIY Magazine and Gotobeat present DIY Alive 2026
A full day of live music, talks, Q&As and more, DIY Alive 2026 will once again bring the spirit of DIY Magazine to the heart of East London. DIY Alive offers a unique, one-of-a-kind live experience - celebrating new music and exploring the creative industries surrounding it via a specially curated line-up, hands-on sessions, and talks from artists and industry experts alike. This year’s event will take place in three different locations at Dalston’s EartH - a landmark venue that perfectly embodies the spirit of independent, community-driven culture.
At DIY Alive, music fans can immerse themselves in every corner of DIY’s world; whether watching incredible acts play across the event’s four live venues, hearing firsthand stories from some of music’s big-hitters, or picking up a new skill from one of the many exhibitors at the DIY artist futures hub: there'll be something for everyone.
We're thrilled to announce that longtime DIY favourites Sports Team will headline the event - after first playing on one of DIY’s live bills almost a decade ago - while they’ll be joined by a stellar cast of acts including Coventry post-punk band FEET, Irish singer-songwriter Nell Mescal and Glaswegian alt-rockers Walt Disco. With live music taking place across the venue’s two stages, there’ll be plenty more announcements coming very soon.
Address: 11-17 Stoke Newington Road London, N16 8BH Greater London, United Kingdom
